February 17, 2026 | (Denver, CO) — STIMULATE, the premier business-to-business trade show and community for sexual wellness, is thrilled to reveal two workshops taking place in Nashville, TN, anchoring their annual trade show and conference.
Designed for consumer facing operators — from traditional storefronts to independent sellers and home party professionals to medtail leaders — these sessions aim to deliver actionable strategies and peer-driven collaboration ahead of STIMULATE’s trade show and conference.
On August 2, 2026, STIMULATE will host the first of two workshops, a Brick + Mortar Workshop, which is a four-hour experience dedicated to strengthening the performance of physical retail locations. Attendees will engage in dynamic discussions, hands-on exercises, and collaborative problem-solving around topics such as daily operations, customer experience, employee engagement, localized marketing, and visual merchandising. Participants will also receive a custom STIMULATE+Workshop Workbook, packed with templates, checklists, and tools to support implementation long after the session concludes. Registration is limited to 100 participants and is open now.
Following the main show, which takes place August 3+4, 2026, STIMULATE will presents the Home Party Workshop + Brunch on on August 5, 2026, at Nashville’s iconic White Limozeen rooftop restaurant at the Graduate Hotel. Tailored for home party operators, independent sellers and mobile retail professionals, this four-hour workshop blends education, networking, and celebration — complete with a curated brunch, vendor discovery and product education that will feature Wicked Sensual Care and Holiday Products with additional vendors to be shared soon, as well as a vibrant atmosphere to enjoy this experience. Attendees will gain strategies for event planning, mobile merchandising, customer engagement, leadership development, social selling, and profitability enhancement, all while connecting with peers and industry experts. Participants will also receive a STIMULATE+Workshop Workbook and access to exclusive vendor perks and products.
Both workshops are intentionally designed to extend the learning and networking momentum of STIMULATE’s flagship trade show experience, offering intimate, actionable learning moments for professionals looking to elevate their business presence in the evolving marketplace. Registration for these pre-event workshops is now open and can be explored here.
Sponsorship and vendor participation is limited. For more information, please connect at stimulate@retailminded.com.
